Áden: Authorities in Yemen`s second city Aden shut its international airport on Wednesday in protest against attacks by Shiite militiamen on the president and other state figures.

Aden`s main security body said in a statement that it was closing its airport, its seaport and entrances to the city due to "dangerous developments in the capital" and "attacks on the symbol of national sovereignty and constitutional legitimacy, President Abdrabuh Mansur Hadi."
